VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 18, 2009) - CADAN RESOURCES CORPORATION (TSX VENTURE:CNF) ("Cadan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the purchase of new jaw and cone crushers, ballmill, gravity circuit, spares and ancillary equipment for the first phase test production, between 50 and 150tpd, at its T'Boli gold-silver mine.

The equipment has been purchased from Zhengzhou Zhongding Heavy Duty Machine Manufacturing Co Ltd based in Zhengzhou, China, which is ISO9001-2000 rated. The company has international customers in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The combined equipment as recommended by metallurgical consultants will achieve a fine grind and optimum recovery of gold and silver. The jaw crusher is rated up to 22tph, cone crusher to 23tph and the ball mill is rated up to 8.2tph sufficient for first phase production range between 50 and 150tpd. Further design changes may increase capacity to 200tpd.

Based on current development costs, the Company estimates a production cost range cost between US$ 250 - 350 per ounce of gold.

The Company is targeting Q4 09 to begin testing mineralized ore from the known systems. This enables the lateral development of the decline, which is on a mineralized zone highlighted by some 40m @ 23g/t gold (uncut), to be advanced sufficiently to ensure continuous mineralized material and to test actual widths and gold-silver grades in the mineralized system.

Also the ventilation and alternative egress shaft is being advanced some 100m ahead of the decline face. This shaft, being sunk on a gold lode, currently has four working faces developed and up to two more planned to provide early trial production when the advancing decline is connected.
